Can Someone Help Identify These Repro Blankets?

[First Texas]

I bought these a long time ago from vendors on the AC but I cannot recall who from. Can someone help ID them? Thank you

#1 appears to me to be either the Julius Jones blanket done by Matt Woodburn or NJS older Fed. Issue blanket. Both are almost identical. Is there a US in the center?

#2 looks to be the Mahone blanket done by Charlie Childs. Is it for sale?

My .02 cents as usual, hope it helps.

#1 looks like a NJS to me.

Thanks gents, I suspected #2 was a Mahone. #1 doesn’t have a US in center. I bought them both over ten tears ago and and I only had a small recollection about the Mahone. #1 I bought from my first sergeant (Bill Treadway) for the life of me I don’t remember it’s story. Just know that Bill only bought the best. Not sure if I want to sell them, couldn’t put a price on them right now.

Without any hint of having a US in the center originially, I would suspect its a Julius Jones.

Charlie Childs reproduced the Mahone blanket from the remnant of the original picked up out of a CS wagon at Sayler’s Creek by a Connecticut soldier if memory serves. Pretty cool.

Before people start asking about prices, could you please post the blankets for sale in the buy/sell forum?

Too late, I sent a PM for pricing on the Mahone yesterday. No response yet.
